Fodor's New England; Inscribed by Editor Robert Fisher to Julia and Paul Child
Fodor’s 1974 guide to New England, covering Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. Octavo, original cloth. Association copy, inscribed by the editor Robert Fisher to Julia and Paul Child on the half-title page, “With thanks to Paul and Julia Child, for their splendid hospitality, Bob Fisher.” Laid in is Fisher’s business card as Executive Editor of Fodor’s Modern Guides. The guide covers Massachusetts, where the Childs' had made their home in Cambridge, and the inscription records the editor’s thanks for their hospitality, implying he was a house guest while working on the book. Julia Child was a chef, author, and television personality, recognized for having brought French cuisine to the American public with her debut cookbook, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, and her subsequent television programs, the most notable of which was The French Chef, which premiered in 1963. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Introduction by Caskie Stinnett. A delightful association copy linking the Fodor’s travel guides to the most famous cook in America.
Eugene Fodor (1905-1991) was the Hungarian-born travel writer who transformed the guidebook, bringing wit, cultural depth, and personality to a genre that had been dry and merely practical. His Fodor’s Modern Guides, begun in the 1930s and issued after the war in yearly-revised volumes covering countries and regions across the globe, became among the most trusted and widely used travel guides in the world. This volume surveys the six states of New England, its restaurants, inns, and historic sights.
